FYI This game is priced at 14.99 on eShop but you can get the physical disc on eBay for half that price. I was able to get my copy on eBay for $4. Very fun/stressful game, highly recommend.

@Handheld_TrifectAce I thought I had tipping stars but I only have the amiibo challenge and Mario vs. Dk 2 for my WiiU. I’ve played all the Mario vs. DK games and would love to add tipping stars to my collection. If you’re not going to use the WiiU code and not sure what to do with it I would definitely like to have it.
I know it’s hopeless but I’m still waiting for a Famista translated or western version to come out on switch. Probably not gonna happen so I downloaded Pro Yakyuu Famista evolution even though I can only play a few modes due to the language barrier.
I loved the 64, GBC, GBA, and GC versions. Will definitely be getting this game day one especially since it adds character build elements. I know it’s Mario Golf but Wario’s golf outfit alone should’ve got him a spot on the cover. Those pants are fire!
Mario Golf with RPG aspect like the game boy color and advance iterations would be ideal. Same goes for the Mario Tennis on those same systems. Just wish they could bring new versions of those to the switch. It’s sad that Mario Golf skipped the Wii and Wii U but Mario Tennis was on both...go figure.
Great article. I fancied the Indiana Jones adventures on the SNES. It was similar to the Super Star Wars games. Btw, there was a Back to the future game for SNES we just never saw it in the US. It’s a shame because it looks fun. https://youtu.be/m0kdKbKcUUo
I too would love too see a baseball game such as Famista or Super Mega baseball on Nintendo Switch. Hell I would even buy a revised version of Dusty Diamonds All Star Softball if the play style was the same as the original with updated graphics.
I am partial to the 2D top down Zelda games and would love to see a new iteration. It would be sweet if they were to come out with a Zelda game similar to the perspective of Captain Toad Treasure Tracker. Of course the worlds and castles would have this perspective instead of just one block section. Maybe this can be the "2D evolved" gameplay they mentioned?
@IndieWriter, I saw that deal on amazon too but it was Pro controllers for $36.97. Was this the same deal? Also Target has them for the same price right now. Info and links below:
Amazon offers its Prime Members: Nintendo Wii U Pro Controller (Black) on sale for $36.97. Shipping is free w/ your Prime membership benefits. Note, back in stock Dec 4th but may still be ordered. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MUY0OFU/
Tip for getting the classic Mario Amiibos from Walmart. Scroll down until you see "Buy together & save" and then click "add all to cart." This will make the modern and classic Mario $2.50 each if you get both. Select free store pickup where available, otherwise shipping is free with ShippingPass (free 30-day trial) or on orders of $50. Cheers!
#20: The Pro controller has changed. Nintendo decided to go with the Xbox One style with the analog stick and ABXY buttons SWITCHing places on the right.
Did anyone notice that the Pro controller has changed? The right analog stick switched places with the BAYX buttons. I wonder why they went with the Xbox layout. Maybe to appeal to Xbox users?

Splatoon 2 tournament at E3 this year mayhaps? Hopefully Capcom will have Ultra Street Fighter 2 for demo as well.

Great commercial. I still like the Tecmo Super Bowl X KIA Sorento commercial they did with Bo Jackson a little bit better though.

I'm hoping Nintendo eshop has a sale the week of black Friday and Cyber Monday as they have done in the past, but with more games and deeper discounts (Link below is last years deals): http://www.nintendo.com/en_CA/whatsnew/detail/lrGYTjh4KIwcHv0ljUxG62eXCLbxKSkC
